Tailgating - Cowtown Style

This past weekend, Wheatie and I had the honor (I guess) of hosting our Texas Exes friends from Austin. The Texas vs TCU game was played in Fort Worth - so we brought the party to us.

If anyone of you know Wheatie, cooking, grilling, talking, laughing, talking, grilling are one of his passions and does them all incredibly well. He never does anything that he doesn't put his whole heart into it.

The truck was packed and ready to hit the road.....at 7:00am

We were able to secure a large portion of the Alberston's parking (4 blocks) from the TCU campus. Much thanks to Noe for allowing us an awesome place to tailgate.
How much better does it get than this......if you forgot something, you just walk right across the parking lot to the store.

 

 

Will and Robert were the first to arrive for set-up

The weather was awesome

The crowds were growing

Besides hosting the tailgate, we had the HONOR of participating in the pre-game activities - which meant we were front and center to field. We held the American flag as the Star Spangled Banner was sang. What an awesome feeling.......

We stayed on the field and had seats (ground) in the north end zone where our Texas Longhorns came and went !

Folks, it doesn't get any better than this.....

Fall Mug Swap

Becky at The Java Mama here  had a fall mug swap and I was lucky enough to be involved!!

My mug swapping partner was Kindra at Hot Tea In Texas here  .  Got my mug in the mail Tuesday along with the cutest card sporting a furbaby, a yummy sucker (it's gone)  hot cocoa mix (Wheatie has already claimed it) and my now favorite mug ~ GOOD MORNING ~~ right on the front!!

Thanks Kindra and Becky for a fun mug swap!!!

Diamonds Are a GIRLS best friend

I recently discovered the Diamond Candles see them here. Besides the fact that they are soy candles - each candle has a surprise in it - A diamond ring!! How cool is that? The ring is incased in the candle and of course you have to burn it long enough to get to it!!

I bought one, Cinnamon Roll, and couldn't wait to light that baby up.

It smells AWESOME......and I wanted it to burn down to that Diamond Ring !!

 

Last I finally had burned it enough to get my ring out!! It is a silver ring with a large green stone (I think they call them Citrines) and 2 small DIAMONDS on each side. I haven't had it appraised...but it sure looks like the real deal....

 

And it FIT!!!....I can't wait to order another.......and Christmas and Birthday and Mom's Day and just because days.....OH YEAH !!



It's been too long partner....

Headed south this past weekend to Austin to tailgate. Chad and his kiddos meet us along with my nephew David.

 

In December 1976, we left Austin, Texas....college, (THE University of Texas) was complete and it was time to move back home. While in Austin, we made some amazing friends. There were 4 couples and we did so much together. WE had some great times - and the stories we could tell....but we won't.
Thanks to the social media Facebook - one of those couples, Pat and Steve Sims, found us and we reconnected. How freakin cool is that.....37years later and we find each other.
We made plans to meetup. Turns our their tailgate site is less than 100 yards from ours. All this time, we were so close, yet so far away.
It was like we never had been apart. WE started right where we left off, with a few additions. WE are all grandparents now, ONE of us is retired (lucky Pat) and the rest are getting close. It was so good to see them and look forward to staying connected. Austin and Aledo are only 3 hours apart....too close not to stay connected

 

We had so much fun with Chad, the kids and David. No trip anywhere near Austin would be complete without a stop by the bestest cupcake in the whole world,

HEY CUPCAKE !!

 

Good times, family, friends, football,

pizza and beer......
